Yield: 6-8 servings

1 pound instant couscous
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter or margarine, melted
¾ cup raisins
¾ cup pitted dates, chopped
¾ cup dried apricots, chopped
¾ cup blanched almonds, chopped
¾ cup walnuts, chopped
½ to 1 cup almond milk

*Traditionally, a larger sized couscous, similar to pearl, is used for this dish.

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the couscous according to the package instructions, using water rather than broth. Transfer the couscous to a large serving bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, stir the sugar and cinnamon into the melted butter. Pour over the couscous, tossing to coat. Stir in the raisins, dates, apricots, almonds, and walnuts.

Step 3

Gradually add the almond milk, a little bit at a time, until the couscous is moistened to your liking; you may not need all of the almond milk. Tidy up the edge of the serving bowl and serve right away, while the couscous is still warm.
